I've been reading lots of post and it seems that several Dr. Aceves patients are at or below their goal weight. I was told by his coordinator Nina that his patients loose 96% of their excess weight, which is really good. Can all Dr. Aceves patient chime in regarding their weight loss?

My surgery was January 13, 2011. I reached a normal BMI in 7 months, 3 weeks. I am 9.5 lbs from my own personal weight loss goal (Dr. Aceves doesn't assign you a goal, although he will give his opinion if you ask). So I have lost 100% of my excess weight so far and will exceed that by 10-20 lbs by the time I'm finished.

That is fantastic! You were sleeved the day before my birthday, sure wish I had done it back then and could be as successful as you.

I was sleeved on May 10th at 296 (weighed 320 before I started the pre-op diet). I'm already down to 216 and losing steadily. I have no doubt I'll reach goal.

I also met one of his old patients while there and she was at goal. Dr. Aceves driver and asst. surgeion both had the surgery and are at goal as well.

i love dr aceves and his team ... i had no pain no nausea and the weight is just falling off.... hope this helps 247 before pre op diet and 243 day of surgery .... see info below ... hope this helps .... loving my sleeve ... and forever greatful to the dr and his team that made it possible ... ( i also learned while there in mexico that alot of his patients are referrals from previous patients a couple of the people there had never been on this site or on the internet for that matter .... )

I hit my original goal in about 6 or so months I think. I got to a size 8, then bumped it down to a size 4 and hit this one at around 10.5 months out. Now my goal is to just be happy and remain healthy and thin. Dr. Aceves is really good and his technique is marvelous. I don't regret using his services one bit.

Good luck!

I had my surgery on Oct 15, 2010, almost a year. I hit my goal about 7 1/2 - 8 months. my goal was a normal BMI, so for my height that was 140. I can get in a size 4 jeans now, I can wear a bikini, and I love life! I need to tone up a bit, and get the girls refilled like Irene did, but hey all in due time!

Go for it you will not regret 1 second!!

Hi-

had surgery on 3/7/2011 - just over 6 months ago. I have lost 90% of my excess weight and I am still loding about a pound a week. I should get to my goal in a month at this rate. However, I will probably shoot right past it because I don't know how I would stop losing weight at this point - I can't possibly eat more!!

I was a lapband revision and I am THRILLED with my experience with Dr Aceves and my results. The first month is brutal, but it is very effective.

Good luck!

I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves on August 12, so It's been over 5 weeks for me. I've lost 22 lbs since the day of surgery, which is 29% of my excess weight. I still have a ways to go (53 lbs), but overall I think I'm going at a good rate. From seeing the success of his other patients, I have no doubt I'll reach my goal weight soon.

My aunt had Dr. Aceves for her sleeve in October 2009, and went from 209 to 139 lbs in 6 months.

You can see my weightloss in my ticker. I'd forsure be at goal had I not slipped up so many times but hey, slipping up is what I do best

What does he charge to do the Sleeve? How long did you have to stay in Mexico?

My surgery was 8750 if memory serves, call Nina and talk to her. She's great.

I chose Dr. Aceves for my VSG because his patients overall really do seem to have the best results. Also because of the the nice hospital he operates in and I couldn't find one bad review on him. I hope I will be as successful as you ladies!
